Easy Wood Turning Lathe Projects

Easy Wood Turning Lathe Projects

The amount of turning kits out there can be daunting, and so many require special hardware or bits to use. The kits I like to turn use threaded inserts to mount hardware to a handle, or have a tang that can just be epoxied into the handle you turn. There are TONS of kits available in this fashion and they’re a great way to make some really fun and useful projects on the lathe while you build up your tool collection and skills.

    You know there are female crafters, right? Maybe try focusing on actually sharing useful information for your audience, not how many dick jokes you can find.



  2. Rotti Woodturning on October 9, 2022 at 2:45 am

    thanks for sharing!



  3. James Harless on October 9, 2022 at 2:46 am

    Very nice, great video!👍🏻



  4. Hunter Reehoorn on October 9, 2022 at 2:48 am

    The Amount of innuendos made me check if I was still on youtube and hadn’t ended up on Reddit



  5. Dave Potts on October 9, 2022 at 2:49 am

    Poor humor…. Once is bad enough…. To have a dozen or more just shows weakness.



  6. dunesII on October 9, 2022 at 2:50 am

    @3:22 "while you watch me play with my wood"……………………………priceless ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !



  7. tangobravo on October 9, 2022 at 2:52 am

    Great footage and nice techniques, but the incessant sexual innuendo is completely not needed and detracts from the great work you do.



  8. Another Snake on October 9, 2022 at 2:54 am

    Aren’t you suppose to roll up your sleeves first?



  9. Andy Hill on October 9, 2022 at 2:54 am

    So glad I screened this before watching it with my daughter. Didn’t finish. Came to learn, not listen to your constant dick and sex jokes. Grow up.



  10. Coswood on October 9, 2022 at 2:56 am

    Great job 🤗



  11. Bonafidity Bonafidity on October 9, 2022 at 2:57 am

    someone needs to send this to alcoholic/autistic wand builder king cobra jfs here on youtube…..some people should just not have a lathe.



  12. DIM Tips on October 9, 2022 at 2:58 am

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try it myself.



  13. Chucky Lad on October 9, 2022 at 2:59 am

    I operate the tool in my hand with aplomb



  14. Parker Hill on October 9, 2022 at 3:00 am

    amazing video



  15. Actually👀 on October 9, 2022 at 3:02 am

    You would be HRs worst nightmare



  16. William Robinson on October 9, 2022 at 3:03 am

    bruh



  17. Zepa Page on October 9, 2022 at 3:04 am

    Thank you for this video. I’m studying the Buddha’s Satipatthana Sutta and he uses an example of a turner and turner’s apprentice knowing when the do a long turn or short turn. Your comment around 6:10 really helped my understanding!



  18. Morgan Calvi on October 9, 2022 at 3:05 am

    Too late to avoid a dirty thing (5:29)…one occurred at 3:23 when you said ‘while you watch me play with my wood…’ and the handle was a sex toy shape…lol. Maybe poetry isn’t your forte if you want to avoid dirty mind things.



  19. MdStormChaser on October 9, 2022 at 3:06 am

    Awesome video, and I could only imagine where your comments end up having a few beers!! 😂😂



  20. Bob Star on October 9, 2022 at 3:06 am

    Didn’t learn much, but feel arroused for some reason…..



  21. JOHN Smith on October 9, 2022 at 3:06 am

    Beautiful Work.



  22. Bob Mccoy on October 9, 2022 at 3:06 am

    New beginner. Watching all your videos and learning before starting. I have wood burls I want to make bowls. Ty for your videos of teaching



  23. Alamyst2011 on October 9, 2022 at 3:07 am

    Just bought a lathe today. Watched this video a few weeks ago and it sparked my interest. Already turned one worthwhile bowl and a few handle blanks. Incredibly fun.
    Just started making 5×5 x 36 blocks with ash, cherry, maple, oak and poplar. Letting the glue set now. Going to make some colorful table legs



  24. Joe on October 9, 2022 at 3:08 am

    Love the hidden 4-hour joke in there! 🤣



  25. fisharmor on October 9, 2022 at 3:08 am

    I came for the lathe projects but I stayed for the inyouend-o



  26. brigida debarros on October 9, 2022 at 3:11 am

    Love this



  27. Chucky Lad on October 9, 2022 at 3:11 am

    that’s what she said



  28. Bypass Security on October 9, 2022 at 3:12 am

    The wood working is nice, but all them low-key sexual jokes are priceless, I love it!



  29. ecua 92 on October 9, 2022 at 3:12 am

    Bro jokes in between tho 😂😂



  30. Alex Kastning on October 9, 2022 at 3:14 am

    sus.



  31. Mac Costa on October 9, 2022 at 3:14 am

    Just getting into the woodworking game. Where can I find this lathe?



  32. Mon Opinion on October 9, 2022 at 3:15 am

    Great demonstration and explanations. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.



  33. Mushroom McFarmer on October 9, 2022 at 3:15 am

    Interesting…I wonder, do the scotch pads actually _remove_ material?



  34. Marcos Barrera on October 9, 2022 at 3:20 am

    You just make too many sexual innuendoes for me. I get it, it’s funny when you know someone and you’re both joking. I’m just tryin to learn to use a lathe. Once or twice would be funny but you just kept going with it.
    Ima keep looking for someone to learn from ✌🏽



  35. stephen marshall on October 9, 2022 at 3:21 am

    Great job thanks



  36. Robert Cornelius on October 9, 2022 at 3:22 am

    Total Boat really needs to issue a 25% off coupon. We older craftsman need help from this terrible inflation.



  37. First Name Last Name on October 9, 2022 at 3:23 am

    Ok this is the first video I’ve seen on this channel, and I have to ask. I don’t just have a super dirty mind do I? This is intentional right?



  38. CB5150 on October 9, 2022 at 3:23 am

    Great Video, You sure know how to work your wood. 😉



  39. Mr. Bags on October 9, 2022 at 3:24 am

    are you going to play live?
    add me Stache! mrbags



  40. slime slayer on October 9, 2022 at 3:24 am

    "cuz right now they’re a little too long… something i’ve never been told before"



  41. tim young on October 9, 2022 at 3:24 am

    What did you put on the block to make it stronger before you turned it?



  42. Kevin Hanning on October 9, 2022 at 3:26 am

    You had me at 8:01!



  43. Lạc LMHT on October 9, 2022 at 3:28 am

    Can I ask how much is that lathe and its price?



  44. Glenn Cooper on October 9, 2022 at 3:32 am

    Sexual conortations are slightly immature and spoil a great subject



  45. itchyyboyy // Itchell Guiney on October 9, 2022 at 3:33 am

    Legendary subliminal puns… LOL!!!



  46. Uriel Valdez on October 9, 2022 at 3:33 am

    “While you watch me play with my wood” 😬😬🤣🤣🤣🤣



  47. Grant Millard on October 9, 2022 at 3:34 am

    Heya! Just saw this video. The content was great but the childish jokes didn’t make me want to subscribe. Reading the comments I saw a good deal of similar feedback and your replies suggesting this wasn’t and wouldn’t be your usual style. I’m going to subscribe and hope to pick up some tips and ideas from your videos moving forward. That tip about sanding along the grain between grits to smooth out scratches was a good one. Thanks for that! Cheers.



  48. Wild Gaming on October 9, 2022 at 3:36 am

    4:51 thats what she said



  49. LIeb Lee on October 9, 2022 at 3:36 am

  50. Victor Bravo on October 9, 2022 at 3:37 am
